BR1 Infinite pays players per kill, prompting gambling and cheating concerns

BR1 Infinite, a new extraction shooter, pays players for every in-game kill rather than for match wins or objectives. That pay-per-kill structure has prompted concerns it could amount to gambling and create incentives for cheating, collusion, and match manipulation. The design raises questions about player safety and integrity when financial rewards are tied directly to individual in-game actions.

• BR1 Infinite is an extraction-style shooter that awards players payment for each in-game kill.
• The game’s reward model ties financial payouts directly to kills rather than to match results or objectives.
• Observers have flagged the system as potentially amounting to gambling and say it could incentivize cheating, collusion, and match manipulation.
• The approach raises regulatory and integrity concerns about linking monetary rewards to individual in-game actions.
